Origin of Gorgonzola Cheese: Towns Near Milan

Authentic Gorgonzola (PDO) comes from the province of Milan, specifically the towns of Gorgonzola and Cassina de' Pecchi in Lombardy, northern Italy. The cheese's name derives from the former, where it was traditionally aged in natural caves. Today, production extends across designated zones in Piedmont and Lombardy under strict consortium rules.
